State runner-up Tri-Valley visits Clinton tonight for what the Maroons hope would be a statement win for the program.

It comes on the heels of a rollercoaster week and Coach Ron Bass says despite all the ups-and-downs of last week, his team handled it all very well as they rolled Tremont 40-6.

There were a lot of positives from the opening week win including senior quarterback Mason Walker's ability to run the football effectively. Coach Bass says there is a noticeable difference in his game this year.

This week the Maroons will need to stop the run and limit the turnovers.

Coach Bass was the defensive coordinator at Tri-Valley before coming to Clinton as the head coach and says he doesn't know what to expect. He says the kids on that team are kids that are friends his sons and he knows very well so he just doesn't know what to expect from an emotional perspective.

Game time is 7 pm. Weather is looking perfect for Friday night and all the action can be heard on WHOW and its many online platforms.
